Hello, I am new to this site, and I congratulate everyone here on their finds. I know what it is like to be skunked for a long time as well as finding a large collection. I have CRHed since I was a kid - started with looking for wheatback cents in the late 1970s and 1980s and then figured out sometime in the 1990s that I could find silver halves. I have searched pretty much on a consistent basis since then, but not the volume that I have read about most of the members here do. I search anything but quarters because of the low return. I like CWR best and I do not order boxes, because I was skunked every time I ordered a box of halves or dimes. Like I said, I don't do a lot of volume at once - I typically go into each bank and buy $50 or $60 of dimes, nickles and pennies, and then ask for halves or large dollars. I have accounts at like 5 or 6 banks. This also makes it easier for me to dump coins back. I guess being in the NYC area, I am fortunate that there are plenty of banks.
Today I got about $120 of coins and got skunked outside of some nickel rolls. Three rolls had no coins newer than 1970, and I got 4 war nickels (pic attached). I though that there would be buffaloes when I saw that these were old, but there were none. Anyway, i am no way complaining.
